Don't listen to GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED

[Arturo Torres Sánchez]

I'm using Midori 0.4.6 (with GTK+3), Gala 0.1 (rev 95), and Ubuntu 12.04.

When I maximize a Midori window, the titlebar is lost, leaving just the toolbar, the tabbar (although I've disabled it) and the content. However, this only happens with Midori and no other maximized window, and only under Gala and not under Compiz.

Gala should ignore this request until such a time that it either provides an unmaximize method or (preferably) detects a Shell that provides an unmaximize method.

This also happens just with the GTK+3 version of Midori. The GTK+2 version has the titlebar as expected.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Midori uses gtk_window_set_hide_titlebar_when_maximized, the same as Epiphany. To quote the documentation:

 This is useful for windows that don't convey any information other
 than the application name in the titlebar, to put the available
 screen space to better use. If the underlying window system does not
 support the request, the setting will not have any effect.

In window manager terms, it sets _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED. So this is a bug in the window manager, or the way the its setup in the desktop environment. Not Midori.

updated the bug title and desctription to reflect a course of action for Gala

Happens with Google Chrome as well, same cause?
Been wondering since day one with Gala and it never occurred to me that a bug should be filed... XD

But with Chromium it doesn't happen. At least not in my machine.

Yeah the stable version (18) in the Ubuntu repository doesn't have that change;
I'm using dev channel Chrome (21) though, also checked with latest Chromium and it's indeed hidden.
